Random thoughts on policy for technology and on technology for policy

My final presentation at #okioconf14 is embedded above and downloadable here. Finally it became quite different from what I originally planned. Some new concepts, different from previous speeches, are:

openness in both science and government share common drivers, impacts and barriers

openness should not be a dogma but a strategy, it should be finely adapted to pursue specific goals: for instance, co-creation does not work.

but openness is also a goal in itself, a value necessary to both democracy and science. Science is reproducible or is not science.

one key question we must address is: is open government just for young, rich, cultivated people? is it beneficiary mainly to the elite? We must work urgently to answer this question.

overall, we have achieved lots but have promised more, and we are just waiting for a “bubble burst” of inflated expectations of open government.
